While trying to install rubygems 1.3.7 from the Maverick repository (Lucis has 1.3.5) I am getting the following error:

Error: Breaks existing package 'rubygems' dependency rubygems1.8 (= 1.3.5-1ubuntu2)

Is there a way to override this, even though it may not be recommended.

You may try using ppa:maco.m/ruby PPA

Another option is to build it from source (using instruction from here):

sudo su
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install ruby rdoc libopenssl-ruby
wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
tar zxvf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.7
ruby setup.rb
ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/local/bin/gem
